Also, this game is over. It actually is going a bit better than expected.

Saw Django the other day. I thought it was pretty solid with some amazing acting (a notch under Kill Bill in my eyes if you were to compare it to other Tarantino films). If you are a Tarantino fan you will love it.

This game was so enjoyable to watch. When was the last time the Raps kicked the shit out of anyone?

Lots of positives but the biggest one for me was Fields 22 foot jumper with about :47 seconds left. It looks clean, smooth, and fluid. So so so so important for him moving forward.

Glad Kleiza's ass was nailed to the bench.

Only real concern was the shitty defense Davis played for the majority of the game on Nicholson. Gave up way too easy position and Nicholson just worked him in the post. Davis had a nice statline himself but his defensive contribution was negative relative to offense.

Ed didn't play solid defense but I would take what he did tonight over what Bargnani does when he's playing. Bargnani is the king of inconsistency. Ed can play solid defense and usually does. He could have been tired after the back to back (NO's front court is a tough matchup for anyone).. but I do suspect him to bounce back.

Who is this "Bargnani" fellow you speak of? Oh right, him. Yeah, he is nothing more than a distant, painful memory. Watching how ED has grown (still unsure if he is a starter to be honest) and the team is playing #tradeBargnani is as necessary as ever. Definitely like ED at the 4 than AB.

I've heard on Sportsnet that the Raptors are "looking to trade Bargnani". I just saw a glimpse of it but heard nothing of it from the commentators... Soooo, not sure if it's just smoke up in here or not.

I think trading Bargnani now is the obvious choice for Colangelo to do. It would be nice if we could get draft picks but I doubt there's a team out there that would have balls to do that trade. But if there's one guy that can work his magic, it is Colangelo.

Pietrus' impact is underrated. If there is a glue guy in this team, I'd say it has got to be either Pietrus or Anderson. Both have solid defense and can stretch the floor. AA has the advantage in shot creating.

Also, I like how Ed plays like a prototypical big. He sets screens to FREE UP the guard first, then reacts by presenting himself clearly in the gap. He also looks for the high low option and swings the ball quickly if he has nothing. Bargnani, on the other hand, just looks to shoot or drive.

Ed may be miles away from being a capable low post scorer, but his impact in keeping the flow of the offense is visible.
